You get your toothpaste and shorts on Amazon, but have you ever thought of purchasing furniture or decor from them? You might not know it, but Amazon has incredible furniture that can be shipped directly to your door via Prime shipping.

For instance, if you’re in need of a stylish yet comfortable sofa, Stone & Beam’s Lauren Sofa would be a great choice. Whether you’re looking for a few accent pieces or a whole home refresh, check out this guide to the best Amazon home decor.

What to know before you buy Amazon home decor

Checklist and budget

What pieces are you looking to purchase? Do you need to furnish an entire home or are you adding a few accents to each room? Preparing a checklist of what you intend to purchase can make searching quicker and easier, instead of having to remember all of the different items you need on the fly. This is especially true if you’re budget conscious. Keep track of how much you spend as you go along to be sure you remain within the parameters of your budget.

Material

When buying furniture and decor it is very important to consider the materials. Cheaper materials like MDF (medium-density fibreboard) will warp with moisture and aren’t as sturdy as hardwood. Although hardwood will last longer than MDF it costs more. Real leather can take a beating and will last many years if you properly care for it with leather conditioner, but it is more expensive than vegan leather. Vegan leather is budget-friendly but isn’t as durable as real leather.

Types of Amazon home decor

Sofas

Amazon has a great selection of couches and sofas, perfect for any space. They have a wide variety of styles, from mid-century modern to sleek and minimalist and have thousands of positive reviews. Two or three-person sofas and couches are available in leather, vegan leather and upholstery, including velvet. Amazon even features a few sectional options.

Dining chairs

Both Stone & Beam and Rivet have a lot of dining chair options in a variety of materials and sizes. If you want something simple, an open backed dining chair might be your best bet, but if you’re looking for something a bit more higher-end, consider some leather upholstered dining chairs with metal legs. If you have a pub table or prefer to eat at the counter, you can choose a comfortable and upholstered bar-height chair that swivels or a classic hardwood bar stool.

Wall art

Wall art is a cost-efficient and easy way to upgrade your entire room without spending a fortune. A nine-piece mural of the Golden Gate Bridge is a beautiful way to add art and depth to a room, and will most certainly be admired by guests. Alternatively, consider making a botanical or nature-inspired wall with a few prints of plants or butterflies.

Lights

There are many options when it comes to decorating with lights. For some rooms you’ll need a hanging light like a pendant chandelier. In the bathroom you might need a new sconce light above the mirror. In the living room you might consider a floor lamp or a set of geometric table lamps. For the bedrooms you can replace the existing outdated lighting with another light fixture or a ceiling fan with a light if you’d like a breeze.

Mirrors

Mirrors are a great way to make a room appear bigger than it actually is. Consider investing in a full length mirror for a maximum room-enlarging effect. If you’d like to decorate with mirrors, try a vintage mirror with wooden accents or a set of three smaller industrial-style mirrors. A shelf mirror is a fantastic two-in-one solution for storage and decor.

Decor

A round metal serving tray is perfect for presenting appetizers or a charcuterie spread at a party, or to display candles on a coffee table. If you’re a big wine drinker, show off your collection with this 6-bottle wood wine rack. Decorative shelves are another option to display books, candles or knick knacks.

Amazon decor cost

Expect to spend what you’d pay at most major big box retailers, but not as much as you’d pay at a dedicated furniture store. Smaller decor items like serving trays, candle holders or decorative accents will run anywhere from $15-$40. A set of dining chairs will run between $100-$200, depending on the fabric and style. Most sofas are in the $700-$1,500 range, including sectionals. Lighting will cost from roughly $20-$50 for lamps and pendants and $100-$300 for a chandelier.
